Allan Jay Krueger

Allan Jay Krueger, born March 25, 1946, died on Friday, May 23, at the age of 79, surrounded by those he loved and who loved him. Allan (2 A’s, 2 L’s) was the son of Murray Krueger and Lee Krueger, of Dayton, Ohio. He was graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and, along with a degree in Psychology, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. He proudly served his country for 21 years, retiring with the rank of Major. Allan earned a Masters of Business Degree from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Allan married Ellen Feinstein Krueger, after 16 years of friendship for a marriage of 50 years. Allan’s children Lauren Krueger and Max Krueger, were lucky to have him as a father, role model, mentor, and great guy to hang out with. His grandchildren, Sydney and Lucas Krueger-Brozik had all that and the fierce love of Allan as Grandpa. David Krueger was honored, and lucky to have Allan as his big brother.

After retiring from a career in administration with the Air Force, Allan went on to have a long career as a systems analyst and project manager with the Air Force and Defense Contractors. After the birth of his first grandchild, he chose retirement to spend time with his growing family, and to travel with Ellen.
